The blog post

There's a phrase I've been thinking about a lot lately:

"You get your say, not always your way."

It's a short sentence, but it says a lot. It's about voice, it's about respect, and it's about the kind of culture we're building--especially when we aim for continuous improvement.

In The Mistakes That Make Us, I wrote about the characteristics of learning organizations. One of the most important is encouraging people to speak up--not just about mistakes, but also about ideas, concerns, and potential risks.

But here's the nuance:

Psychological safety doesn't mean consensus. It doesn't mean you'll get your way every time.
